The East Asian War, 1592 1598 by R. W. B. Lewis
A transnational study of the 1592–1598 conflict sparked by Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s invasions of Korea, this work examines intertwined land and naval campaigns, the diplomacy linking Japan, Chosŏn Korea, and Ming China, and the logistics, finance, and social disruptions that sustained the war. It highlights naval innovation and Admiral Yi Sun-sin’s role, guerrilla mobilization, and complex interstate coordination, situating the fighting within early modern state-building and regional trade networks. Assessing the devastation in Korea, the strains placed on the Ming, and the repercussions for Japan’s subsequent policies, it reframes the conflict as a transformative event in East Asian and global history.
